My Mac will not run Quicken all of a sudden
UPDATE!
Everything is back to normal.. I did clean install (wiped the drive!) and restored what I needed from backup.. Kind of a brute force method, but I was overdue as I had 3 years of crufty stuff running in my OS.
I'm not completely convinced that a Software update didn't cause the problem. Even after the clean install of the OS, it was taking forever to reboot. After the subsequent Software Update the boots were nice and peppy again.
Clean install did remedy the immediate problem of getting Quicken running again.
Original Post follows in case anyone else runs into this.
If I Ctrl+Click->Show Package Contents. Then go to Contents -> Mac OSX this is the icon I get. It somehow thinks it's become a "Classic" app which obviously it isn't.
The OS thinks a couple of apps are Classic apps all of a sudden. All I can think of is the last software update, but really that's just a guess.
Ran Disk Warrior, it fixed a few permissions but it thought everything else was fine.
I deleted Quicken's Folder and reinstalled it from the CD's that came with the computer, but I get the exact same problem.
A few other programs won't launch and I figure it may be related
- Macromedia Fireworks
- Snapz Pro (Universal Binary version)
- Super Game House Solitaire
Many other aps work fine, including some "Rosetta" apps.
I called Mac Tech Support (I have Apple Care) and they suggested I free up some hd space and do an "archive and reinstall", so I'll try that tonight.
I just thought I would post this here in case anyone else is having trouble like this. Please comment if you've run into this on your system, especially since a recent Software Update.
